2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Towing Gallery

Updated: July 14, 2022

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is the first production electric full-size pickup truck from a major automaker. There’s a reason for that: While EVs make great commuters, they typically don’t stack up to the demands of the average truck owner. We spent a week with the Lightning to find out if the machine was capable of handling towing a couple of side-by-sides. It not only handled it, but took to the task with ease, towing as well as our Ram 2500 Cummins. Now if only someone could solve the charging problem.

Buyers can charge that Lightning at any Level 2 charger, which can top off the battery quickly enough.Jackson Cooper

This is an F-150 first, an EV second. Extended-range models boast a 10,000-pound tow rating, and the Lightning comes with both seven-pin and four-pin connectors as well as an integrated trailer brake controller.Jackson Cooper
